I'm just starting to look into getting a table loom and this has made reading drafts immeasurably more approachable and less intimidating Thank you!
Comment from : @jantona

Thank you! Well explained
Comment from : @southafricanrhino

Okay, so the horizontal lines are for setting up the pattern through the heddles, and the vertical lines are for foot movement when you're passing the shuttle
Comment from : @TheQwuilleran

Just found this - so very helpful! Thank you!

WOW! As a beginner weaver this was soooo helpful and saved me rereading a chapter of my book 4 more times! Thanks!
Comment from : @kasandramckenna3250

I would love to know how this system can be read when using a rigid heddle loom with 2 heddles, a pick up stick and a heddle rod, instead of a shaft loom as one cannot treadle in a rigid heddle loom
Comment from : @The_loopy_knitter

Excellent explanation
Comment from : @anniredale7207

Love this explanation, but how do you figure out 4 shaft for a rigid heddle loom? And how do you know how to thread the heddles?
Comment from : @marlenecheladyn6450

I can't thank you enough!! I am just getting started in weaving and I was having so much trouble understanding the drafts You explanation was amazing! 😍
Comment from : @ClydeButler01

Morning Jane,can i use this with my rigid heddle loom by adding a second heddle? I think i understand that the rigid heddle loom is 2 shafts so with the second heddle in would be 4 shafts? Thank you in advance, i have done a couple of 2 heddle patterns but i bought the class so i am not sure how to convert the 4 shaft patterns on my own yet
Comment from : @marcy-daveweber6265

This was so helpful! Thank you! ❤️
Comment from : @melissabucheit3832

Is there a method to convert a draft for a falling treadle to one for a rising treadle?
Comment from : @Academician100

I am a new weaver and bought Marguerite Porter Davison book I heard in the video that her patterns are for sinking shed loom Can I use Marguerite Porter Davison pattern drafts on an rising shaft table loom by Ashford?

Comment from : @crisfonsecacosta

I'm in the process of making a countermarch loom and you just scared me with the sinking and rising shed comment as I was planning on buying the handweaver's pattern handbookbrbrWould they work on a countermarch loom?
Comment from : @Falney

This is excellent Thank you What do you do if you only have 4 foot treadles? I was gifted a loom (I believe an old Rasmussen) which only had 4 foot treadles

Hi Jane, I've just got a Louet David I understand about reading the blank squares in a rising shed tie up for my sinking shed loom, but My question is on your drafts you use numbers, so how Would I know if it's for rising or sinking shed loom? brI love watching your videos, you help keep me call when in fighting with my warp!

Comment from : @mrjamrol

I have a 4 shaft table top loom but there is only 4 treadles It's this not normal? Would only read the first 4 bars in the treadle column?brbrCould you show in a video how to these according to a pattern, I don't fully understand this
Comment from : @janinedear-barlow

Excellent!! Thank you for making this tutorial!!!!
Comment from : @pamtroup6290

Thank you so much! All I’ve done is plain weave so far and I really wanted to try a pattern this time, but didn’t understand what I was looking at This is such a wonderful explanation, it suddenly seems so uncomplicated
Comment from : @Amaranthyne

How do I sign up for the online course
Comment from : @louiseforget409

if a pattern is written for a counter balance (sinking shed) loom with an X, but you are using a rising shed loom, how can you adapt the pattern? or does it matter?
Comment from : @nadinebasile8539

oh my thankyou the mist is clearing I'm beginning to see at last! you helped a dyslexic weaver so much!!!LOL
Comment from : @dbrowne9341

Comment from : @Trusty1957

Do you have any videos for 4 shaft table looms-I have a Louet Erica that I recently purchased I began on a rigid heddle table loom and I am trying to learn the 4 shaft table loom Thanks
Comment from : @artistirmafeliciarodriguez7752

What do you do if you have a table loom with toggles, is that called a direct tie up?
Comment from : @sandraeasthope3010

Excellent info-graphic video , i'm a weaver from India duly interested in making supplementary warp patterns , can you suggest any book to refer for designs and better understanding of the subject
Comment from : @vidhitjain9363

Hi, Jane! Fantastic video and everything makes so much sense Well, almost I have a counter-march loom and have to tie up everything so which do I tie up to what? Thank you

Comment from : @juliasymonds9744

I have been weaving for about 8 years now and thanks to your great explanation on reading weaving drafts I think the penny has finally dropped
Comment from : @jacquelineshewring503

Thank you so much for sharing yours has been the best explanation that i have seen
Comment from : @rubymoore1621

Very clear explanation I'll definitely be referring back to this video
Comment from : @marinamartinez6886

I was very confused with the Dixon book because I hadn’t noted that the treadling was read from bottom to top This became apparent when doing double weave
Comment from : @susanott1230

Jane thank you This is the clearest I have seen this explained You have made something that’s looks intimidating very easy to understand
Comment from : @kathgarvey

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! This is very clear and easy to understand
Comment from : @stitchingwithasmile677

All you have to do is tie-up the empty boxes and it will weave as the front side I should have added thatduh! I always think it through If it shows an x in 1 and 2 that means it is for a counter-balance loom and if you step on a treadle tied to 1 and 2 they will sink and your weft will cover them Soooo following that thinking, if you have a rising shed loom and you tie-up the empty boxes which would be 3 and 4, they would go up and you would be covering 1 and 2, and the cloth would look exactly the same Hope that makes sense :)
Comment from : @JaneStaffordTextilesChannel

Very helpful Thank you If you have a rising shed loom and the pattern is for a sinking shed loom (or vice versa), are there any adaptations necessary? Or will the front side of the cloth just be face down as you weave? Thank you so much for all your helpful content!
